  • 词义辨析

    mellow, mature, ripe

    这组词共同的意思是“成熟”,它们的区别在于:
    1.ripe和mellow都可表示“成熟可供食用”, ripe可用于水果、谷物、酒、奶酪等,而mellow只用于水果,不用于谷物。用于水果时, ripe侧重可供食用,而mellow侧重其成熟甘甜而引人喜爱。例如:
    Apples are at their best in the autumn when they are at their fattest and most mellow.秋天,苹果最好吃,长得最大、最甜。
    2.ripe, mature和mellow都可用于修饰人, mature指人生理上的成熟,而ripe和mellow指人思想、心理、感情、行为上的成熟老练; mellow只用于褒义,而ripe不仅可以用于褒义,还可用于贬义,指“老朽,粗俗”。例如:
    A marriage contracted in mature years often turns out best.成熟年龄阶段结合的婚姻通常证明是最佳婚姻。
    I've seen him grow more mellow over the years.我看他这些年来渐渐成熟起来。
    That joke was rather ripe.那个笑话太粗俗了。

    mellow, age, develop, mature, ripen

    这组词的共同含义是“成熟,长成”。它们的区别是:
    mature不仅指身体上,也指精神、智力方面“成熟”; age则侧重“变老,老化”,可指人,也可指物; develop意为“生长,成长”,可指局部的,也可指整体的变化; mellow则指水果成熟、酒酿成,也可指人因年龄的增长,经验的积累而变得老练成熟; 而ripen的意思是“使…成熟”,着重指无生命的东西。
